Gce Model Questions Vol1 2024 Biology Question 19
Practice objective / multiple choice question 19 from the 2024 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
In a monosynaptic stretch reflex, the afferent (sensory) fibre is 0.8 m long and conducts at \(60\ \text{m s}^{-1}\). The efferent (motor) fibre is 0.6 m long and conducts at \(45\ \text{m s}^{-1}\). The synaptic delay at the spinal cord is \(0.5\ \text{ms}\). Calculate the total latency from the onset of muscle stretch to the beginning of muscle contraction, giving your answer in milliseconds (rounded to the nearest whole number).
